“Matt has become a highly valued Business Advisor across our finance and lending businesses. He has an excellent ability to understand the broader picture, challenge our thinking constructively, and help turn complex issues into clear and practical strategies.”

— Nathan Drew, Managing Director / CEO, Fox Finance Group — Executive Director, Ume Loans

“Before working with Matt, many of our strategic and financial decisions were made without the level of external challenge and accountability that growing businesses often need. Matt has provided valuable insight, structure and perspective, helping us focus on the decisions that matter most. He’s become a trusted advisor whose input I genuinely value.”

— Edward Wenman, Managing Director, Telair

“When you’re scaling at pace, it’s easy to get pulled into the day to day and lose sight of the bigger picture. Matt keeps us accountable and focused on what is critical for the long-term health of the business, even when everything else is competing for attention. Matt has become a trusted part of how we run the business, and we’re better for having him in our corner.”

— Jo Wood, Chief Operating Partner, Mandala Partners

“Matt’s approach to business is straightforward, approachable and very human. This comes from decades of running his own businesses and helping other people run theirs. His rich experience shows throughout this book.”

— Sarah, Business Owner & Author, Integrity Earth

“Working with Matt has been a breath of fresh air. He brought clarity, cutting through the noise and helping me prioritise with real, specific advice. He doesn’t just offer solutions — he empowers you to make decisions with confidence and keep moving forward.”

— Dino, Co-Founder & Managing Director, DMC Sport

“I trust Matt Murphy more than my own family.”

— Dave Justice, Managing Director, Ambience Lighting

“Matt’s been in our corner since 2012, through global financial crises, a pandemic, and everything else along the way. We started with no real backing and 2–4 staff; today we’re a 180+ employees business with revenue we couldn’t have imagined back then. He helped us set goals I didn’t believe were realistic, and we hit them within five years. On the days I couldn’t see a way through, his advice got us there. I owe a lot of where we are today to him.

I’ve always told Matt he’s our Jerry Maguire — he stuck with us like Jerry stuck with Rod Tidwell, and in the end, Rod came through.”

— Gavin Lowe, Managing Director, UDL Group Pty Ltd
